Hey peoples...a lil update for those interested: Mods: 1) I moved the 2 1/2" to 2" reducer from up against the throttle body, to as close to the intercooler outlet as possible and used 2 1/2" using marine exhaust hose (the wire reinforced one - it cheap & works), in the place of t...

Any D4D owners ever got their oil strainer/screen in inspected? looking for a reputable place to get this checked out. Not experiencing any problems just for preventative maintenance. Also I never ran my tank below quarter since i got the hilux which is going on 4 years should i get it cleaned? whe...

I am about to put a 3" front 1.5" Suspension lift kit in my Hilux. I've done allot of reading up on the kits and think the spacer kit will work for me. It comes with a diff lowering kit to keep the CV's level and I am getting bump stop spacers to avoid breaking shocks.. Anyone have any ex...

yea fellas,hadda change my gear oil,diff oil and transfer case...advise me nah what kind,etc ? thanks I used the shell (previously from Toyota), Mobil1 Delvac, Castrol & presently Redline Synthetics throughout...personally found no difference between any them. Just make sure to use the Manufact...

Can't remember how long after it happened but it didn't show any signs or anything before, just happened while driving on the highway... Make sure its the correct K&N filter. there are a few models that are close but don't seal the same way. If its not seated properly, contaminants will get by ...

i no sheriff's got a lot of filters for toyota...got one for my 2012 How long you running it now? I find they tend to foul the Maf sensor on my hilux I got my K&N air filter from the place upstairs "Snikla" (sorry, cant remember their name) on lower French street, between Ariapita Ave...

more like Port of Spain flooded streets.... You have to be a lil careful on wet roads though... Always check your tyre pressure. I was going over the lady young the other day and the vehicle just started to skid. I'm thinking its the tyre itself cause i had checked the tyre pressure last week, I mi...

dont use diesel treatments wit common rail vehicles. come again? :? with the quality of diesel in Trini, you go say dat? i am using the Redline now with every fullup; almost exclusively for its fuel pump lubricating properties....not to mention the added bonus of water-dispersion give me a real goo...

Well...look I learn something today...lol.
Thanks man.

Here are the frontal pics of the IC.

thx for the reply... i looked it up myself and i came to the same conclusion... it also help with laminar flow at the low air velocities. which is where a diesel operate as it doesn't really go past 5k rpm. i wanna run about 12psi on my ranger, but i wanna upgrade the fmic before i try. so im looki...

Sweet, btw -no need for the BOV - its a diesel - it doesnt need it. When you raised the boost back , did it affect the diesel milage? I know it doesn't need it...but it would reduce the stress on the turbine and increase the efficiency. Seems worth it to me for the piece of mind. Fuel/mileage retur...

jj... where u got the piping kit done? also, y 2" and not 2.5"? Did it myself. A freind had the equipment, I had the material, concept & time. 2" because - Standard diesel sized piping for stock calibration. Based on the air volume moved by the stock turbo, distance from turbo to...

Looks nice. Can we get a frontal view of the IC ?. Im still deliberating given the boost lost Will have to take a frontal pic of the IC to post. I thought I had one. Hey man, the lost boost was regained with 1/8"spacers... I don't think you you get any simpler/cheaper than that. (no boost cont...

Thanks man , nice job , did you do the install yourself? Does the 2kd have an exhaust gas recirculation line to the intake? Thanks man. Yup, did the install myself. No, the 2kd doesn't have a blow-off recirculation line from the turbo to the intake but I'm definitely planning on putting in one soon.

Nice job there meng.
Did you dyno the hilux yet?

Thanks man.
Didn't get to dyno as yet.

Intercooler piping

waste gate

intercooler top

finally got some time time to take & post the pics...sorry git took so long guys.

I installed d front mount intercooler. After installation, lost 1lb. of boost along the distance (9lbs. before & 8lbs. after). Simple 1/8" spacers between the waste-gate and where its mounted - returned boost back to 9lbs. The intention was never to achieve a super-fast diesel. It was simply to have...

the thing is, although the Constable Stupidees and dem can't legally make u remove the tint, unfortunately they know that are in their right to detain you until License officers arrive to do it themselves. And on top of that, the tickets they give us is not for the tint itself but rather for "dis-ob...

Anyone installed an aftermarket inter-cooler on a 2006-2009, 2.5 Hilux yet ?
Thinking of doing it but was looking for feedback before trying d project.

Depends on how you drive. You would think that being a rear wheel drive, the rear would ware faster, but... if you like to go into the corners a bit fast the front outside will cut faster. The heavy engine over the wheels kinda help grind them down. However if you like to drive hard but don't corner...

Oy... if yuh buy a pogo-stick yuh really expect it to run like a Hilux ?!?!
bwahahahaha !

Aye peoples... Allyuh stay far from Zeibart boy. They is a set of jokers over there. I went for d "rhino " lining" and and they f@#k it up. Firstly they take 3 days before they could have done it, because they don't have a temperature/humidity control booth. So they have to wait till the humidity ou...
